The teacher conducts finger gymnastics"Flower"
The flower slept in a magical sleep
Was closed, but then
A petal appeared
And behind him is his friend,
So the third one didn’t sleep,
And the fourth did not lag behind,
Here is the fifth petal
And the whole flower opened.
Children draw flowers. (a basket is drawn on the piece of paper, children must draw flowers in the basket)
They give Thumbelina their flowers.
Inch: Thank you. A breeze rises and it will take me to the land of the elves. Goodbye.
The teacher summarizes.
The lesson consisted of 3 parts:
I introductory
II main
III final
In total, the lesson lasted 20 minutes, which corresponds to given age. The structure of the lesson follows the principles of thematic unity, combination of new things and consolidation of the material covered.
In the introductory part of the lesson I used surprise moment(appearing from magic flower Thumbelina, video letter asking for help), which motivated children to collect information about flowers.
The second part of the lesson consisted of 2 stages:
At the first stage, the children found answers to a number of questions I posed;
At the second stage, children drew flowers with stamps.
Between the stages I held a physical minute “Waltz of the Flowers”. Before the children started drawing, I conducted finger gymnastics “Flower”
In the third and final part of the lesson, the children gave their flowers to Thumbelina.
I used time wisely in each part of the lesson. Throughout the lesson I asked questions of different content:
Reproductive, requiring a statement of facts;
Problematic, requiring the ability to draw conclusions, inferences that help activate the mental activity of children.
She also used various forms of questions: direct, leading, prompting.
During the lesson I used different methods and techniques
Visual
Verbal
Gaming
Relationships with children were democratic. I think that the children worked enthusiastically and at ease during the lesson. They actively answered questions and listened to my explanations with great interest and attention. The guys had the opportunity to speak out.
The goal of the lesson has been achieved. The majority of children learned program material: concretized ideas about the living conditions of plants. I calmly completed the lesson; I believe that I was able to prevent the onset of fatigue in the children and a decrease in their cognitive activity.

Educator. There are many legends about flowers. Listen, guys, to one of them. This happened a long time ago. (Slide show).
Flowers lived in a forest clearing. All the flowers lived in the clearing very friendly. They were happy bright sun, warm breeze. It would seem that nothing threatened them. But the evil wizard found out about this. He didn’t like that the flowers were very friendly with each other, and he bewitched them.
The flowers began to quarrel with each other, they began to find out which of them was the most beautiful, the brightest, the most tender...
After the quarrel, everyone was offended by each other, and everyone felt very sad and lonely.
Suddenly a sunbeam appeared in the clearing. He asked the flowers what happened to them, why it was so quiet and gloomy in the clearing.
The flowers told him about the treachery of the evil wizard, about how they quarreled. Sunny bunny invited the flowers to make peace. He quickly went over each flower. The flowers smiled at each other. They decided to make peace and never again succumb to the evil wizard’s witchcraft. Since then, the flowers began to live together and tried not to quarrel. The clearing became fun and beautiful again.
Children answer and act out the scene of the reconciliation of flowers.
- Now we need to turn into ourselves.
Children say the words “I’m spinning, spinning and turning into a child.” (Children take off their hats with flowers).
Educator. Children, what mood were your flowers in before the quarrel? During a quarrel? After reconciliation? How were the flowers reconciled?

In this article you will find a lot of interesting material about flowers and herbs for children. There is no need to tell your child about all the plants at once. After all the main task- This is not to fill the baby with information, but to awaken his curiosity. teach you to ask questions, think, draw conclusions, experiment, find connections. These are the tasks you will find in this article.
First, during a walk, find those flowers that your baby encounters most often and introduce him to them. Give your child the opportunity to see the amazing in the unnoticed and familiar! This is a completely different view of the world - the view of Homo sapiens, Man - creator, Man - researcher and artist!
It is very important that the child sees the plant in nature, and not just in a picture or in a video. So that he carefully and gently strokes the leaves and stem, smells the flower, watches the insects that circle around the flower and land on it. These are life experiences that nothing can replace!
Consider with your child several meadow or wildflowers (2-5) that you find. Ask your child:
- What do they all have in common? (These are flowers. They have a root, a stem, leaves, a flower - name these parts of the flower).
- Why does a flower need a root? What will happen to the flower if it is left without a root?
- Why do flowers need stems? Leaves? Seeds?
- How are flowers different from trees? From bushes?
- How are these flowers different from each other? (How do their stems differ? Leaves? Flowers? in size, shape, location, color).
Together with your child, come up with riddles to describe flowers. Write them down in a beautiful notebook or album. make a wish for your friends and relatives. It would be good if you compiled a whole guidebook with pictures about flowers and included riddles invented by your child in it.
Coming up with a riddle about a flower is very simple. Place 3 pictures of flowers in front of your child. And ask him to describe one flower so that you can guess what it is. The rule is that you cannot say the name of a flower, it’s a mystery! Examples of pictures: for children 4-5 years old - chamomile, cornflower, clover. For children 5-7 years old: cornflower, chicory, bellflower (all flowers blue tint, so they are more difficult to describe).
- What type of stem does the flower have (thick or thin, straight or curving, branched.
- What kind of leaves does the flower have (large or small, narrow or wide, sharp or with rounded edges).
- What kind of flowers does the flower have (what color, size, shape, what is the middle of the flower, where are the flowers located, how many of them are there on the plant).
- What else do we know about the flower (how it is used, tales about the flower, where it grows, etc.)
Educational videos for children, as well as stories, assignments, and pictures from this article will help you and your kids navigate the world of flowers and herbs and discover their secrets.
Presentation “Flowers in pictures and tasks for children” Based on the materials from this article with pictures in good resolution, you can find it in our VKontakte group “Child development from birth to school” in the “Documents” group section under the group’s videos. It will be more convenient for you to look at pictures with children. I will post it in the coming days - stay tuned for updates on the group wall!

Stories about meadow and wildflowers in pictures for children.
Meadow geranium.
Geranium It grows not only at home on the windowsill. It also grows in the meadow. Geranium that grows in a meadow is called... what do you think? If it grows in meadows, what is it like? Meadow. This meadow geranium. What color are the flowers indoor geranium at our house? And the flowers of meadow geranium (bluish-purple). How does our indoor fragrant geranium differ from meadow geranium?
Meadow geranium blooms very little - only two days! But it has a lot of flowers, which is why it seems to us that geranium blooms for a long, long time.
Meadow geranium flower of five petals. The edges of the petal are rounded and smooth. Several stems arise from one root.
Geranium pollen They are very fond of various insects and crawling bugs. But geranium is an amazing flower. She does not give her pollen to bugs, but saves it for bees and butterflies. How does she protect herself from bugs? How do you think? Let the child come up with his own version and try to find the answer to this question. It turns out that the stem near the geranium flower is covered with a sticky liquid. And bugs simply cannot crawl through it. But this does not bother butterflies and bees. Why? Let the child find the answer to this question and make an assumption. Even if he didn’t guess correctly, reward him for not being afraid to think and express his opinion. That's right, because bees and butterflies fly and land on top of the flower! And this sticky liquid on the stem at the bottom of the flower does not bother them at all. If the child does not understand, then cut out the silhouette of a butterfly from paper and show how it sits on the palm of a flower. It does not crawl along the stem, but sits on top and does not touch this sticky substance.
Another name for geranium is geranium. What word does it look like? That's right, in the word crane, crane. How is geranium similar to crane? Look at the geranium fruits. They appear closer to autumn, when the geranium has faded. What does this fruit look like? Yes, the fruit has a long beak, like a crane. That is why meadow geranium is also called cranebird.
As soon as such a fruit with a beak in a meadow geranium ripens, the seeds will fall out of it. Where they fall, they will grow next year new meadow geranium plants.
Geranium is a medicinal plant. Meadow geranium paste was applied to snake bites, changing it every 10 minutes, and it greatly helped both people and animals.
Dandelion.
Dandelion All children and adults know. And they know its peculiarity - this flower is first yellow, and then white with many parachutes with seeds.
Wears a dandelion
Yellow sundress.
When he grows up, he will dress up
In a little white dress.
Light, airy,
Obedient to the wind (E. Serova).
The sun dropped
Golden ray.
Dandelion has grown
First, young!
He has a wonderful
Golden color,
He's a big sun
Little portrait! (O. Vysotskaya)
Why are dandelions called “a little portrait of the sun” in the poem? What would you call them? They are yellow like... (like what?)
Did you know that dandelion can predict the weather y? Can you guess how he does it? How can he tell us that it will rain soon? The dandelion cannot speak like a person, but it speaks to us in its own way: it closes its petals and lowers its head. And if the dandelion is already white, then before the rain it folds its parachutes - it hides from future rain. And he tells you and me: it will start raining soon.
Dandelion is a very useful plant:
- They make jam from dandelion! Yes, the real thing, similar to honey. This is why it is called “dandelion honey.” But for such jam you need to collect flowers very far from the city and from roads. How do you think why?
- Dandelion roots are dug up in the fall and used to treat various diseases. After all, dandelion - medicinal plant, people were treated with it in ancient times.
- Salads are made from young dandelion leaves. But so that the leaves are not bitter, they are first kept for half an hour in salt water. What a dandelion!
Bells They grow both in the meadow and in the forest clearing. They are very beautiful - blue and purple. There are single flowers on a bell, and there are whole bouquets.
Bluebell - blue color
Tell us your secret
Why don't you call
Even if you move your head,
Then you bow from the wind,
Then you’ll hide from the sun (N. Sergeeva).
The bell can also tell us about the weather. Surely your baby has already guessed how the bell speaks to us and how to “read” the language of flowers? Yes, in cloudy weather and at night the bell closes, that is, lowers its head - it hides. And small bugs, spiders and flies hide in it, like in a house. They feel warm and comfortable there, just like in a little house.
Like this bell - teremok. Various small insects love him for this!
Try to compose a fairy tale with your child: “The bell is a tower” or “Under the bell” about how, during the rain, different insects hid under a bell and got to know each other (by analogy with Suteev’s fairy tale “Under the Mushroom”). It is best to act out such a fairy tale in pictures or with toys. In this fairy tale you will be able to consolidate your child’s ideas about insects, stimulate dialogical speech. Start the fairy tale yourself, and the baby will continue the sentences you started: “There is a little house in the meadow. He is not short, not tall, not tall. That teremok is called a bell. One time... She ran up to the bell... And she said... And the bell answered her.... And she began... to hide from the rain in the bell” and so on. By starting phrases, you help your child learn how to structure a text and how to connect sentences in a text. Be sure to write down the resulting fairy tale and retell it - the child needs to feel that his achievements in writing and speech creativity significant for close adults!
Ivan da Marya.
This flower has unusual flowers - they are of two colors: yellow and lilac.
Ivan da Marya the flower is very beautiful. But there is no need to tear Ivan-da-Marya! The flower will quickly wither and lose its beauty. Let him please us better in the meadow!
And there is a fairy tale about where this flower got its name.
Tale about the flower Ivan da Marya.
Once upon a time, long ago, there lived Ivan and the beautiful Marya. One day they went into the forest to pick mushrooms and berries. But a storm arose, a thunderstorm began, and thunder struck. There was nowhere for them to hide. Then Ivan shielded Marya from the rain, and Marya sat down near a bush. The storm ended, and in this place a flower appeared. This flower had yellow flowers, which were covered with blue leaves on top. It was in memory of Ivan and Marya that the flower was named Ivan and Marya. Can you find in the flower where Ivan is and where Marya is in this plant?
Marya sat down by a bush in the rain. And since then this alone has not lived in the plant. It always attaches itself to another flower, “sits” next to it and feeds from it.
Ivan-tea (Fireweed).
Do not confuse Ivan-da-Marya with Ivan-tea. Look at the picture - this is fireweed. In another way it is called “fireweed”.
Fireweed is a tall plant. Its flowers are collected in a brush that looks like a candle. They are a very beautiful bright purple-pink color. Fireweed flowers contain a lot of nectar, which is why bees and beekeepers love this flower. It makes delicious honey! Real tea is made from Ivan tea - “Russian tea”, “Ivan tea”. That's why it's called that.
In a clearing by chance
flushed blooming Sally:
"My purple color, Friends,
There’s no way around it!..”
He bowed kindly:
“It’s good to drink fragrant tea!” (A. Alferova)
Fireweed wakes up very early, when we are still sleeping. It opens its flowers at 5-6 in the morning. And if the weather is rainy, the flowers will close.
Fireweed- a most amazing flower! And it is famous and useful not only for tea! Read to your child an excerpt from the story “The Caring Flower” by Konstantin Paustovsky, and you will discover a lot of interesting things about this plant!
“Near the house where the forestry office was located, a shady garden grew along the slope of the ravine. A river flowed along the bottom of the ravine. Not far away it flowed into a large river.
The river was quiet, with a lazy flow and dense thickets along the banks. In these thickets there was a path trodden down to the water, and there was a bench near it. In their free moments, forester Mikhail Mikhailovich, Anyuta and other forestry employees loved to sit for a while on this bench, watch how the midges hovered over the water and how the setting sun burned out on clouds that looked like sailing ships.
That evening I also found Mikhail Mikhailovich and Anyuta on a bench on the river bank.
An unusually green duckweed swam in the pool at our feet. Watercolor bloomed in clean places - white and thin, like cigarette paper, flowers with a red core. Above the pool on the steep bank, fireweed has grown in islands.
“Fireweed is our assistant,” noted Mikhail Mikhailovich.
“And squirrels are also good helpers,” added Anyuta.
“I just learned about squirrels,” I said. - From the boys. Is it true that you take pine cones from squirrels?
- But of course! - Anyuta answered. “There are no better cone collectors than squirrels in the world.” Come with us to the forest tomorrow. You'll see for yourself.
“Well,” I agreed, “let’s go.” But I don’t know how fireweed helps you. Until now, I only knew that its leaves are brewed instead of tea.
“That’s why people called him Ivan tea,” explained Mikhail Mikhailovich. - And this is how he helps us...
Mikhail Mikhailovich began to talk.
Fireweed always grows in forest fires and clearings. Not long ago, fireweed was considered a weed. It was only good for cheap tea. Foresters mercilessly pulled out all the fireweed that grew next to the young pines. They did this because they believed that fireweed drowned out the shoots of pine trees, robbing them of light and moisture.
But they soon noticed that the pine trees in those places where fireweed was destroyed could not fight the cold at all and were completely killed by the first morning frosts, which occur at the beginning of autumn.
Scientists, of course, began to look for the reason for this and finally found it.
- What turned out to be? - asked Mikhail Mikhailovich and answered himself: - But it turned out that fireweed is very warm flower. When the autumn frost hits and the frost silvers the grass, there is no frost near the fireweed. Because there is warm air around the fireweed. This flower exudes warmth. And in this warmth, all the fireweed’s neighbors, all the weak shoots, grow without fear, until winter covers them, like a cotton blanket, with deep snow. And note that fireweed always grows next to young pines. This is their watchman, their protector, their nanny. It happens that in severe frost the entire top of a fireweed will freeze, but it still does not give up, lives and breathes warmth. Selfless flower!
“Fireweed,” said Anyuta, “not only warms the air, but also the soil.” So the roots of all these shoots do not freeze.
- Do you think fireweed alone is so wonderful? - Mikhail Mikhailovich asked me. — You can tell such amazing things about almost every plant that you will simply gasp. Every flower is a story. Plants save us from diseases, give deep sleep, fresh strength, clothing, feeding - you can’t count it all. We have no better friends than plants. Yes, if I knew how to tell fairy tales, I would tell something about every blade of grass, about every inconspicuous little buttercup or spikelet that all the good old storytellers would envy me.
- Still would! - said Anyuta. “If they knew then what we know now, then there would be no need for fairy tales.”
The next day I went with the boys and Anyuta to the Moss Forest and saw the squirrel warehouses pine cones, I saw thickets of fireweed in burnt areas and young plantings, and from then on I began to regard squirrels, fireweed flowers, and young pines as my faithful friends.
Before leaving, I picked a bunch of fireweed. Anyuta dried it for me in dry sand. Because of this, the flowers retained their bright crimson color.
In Moscow, I put this dry brush of fireweed in a thick book. It was called "Russian folk tales" And every time I opened this book, I thought that the life around us, at least the life of this simple and modest flower, is often more interesting than the most magical fairy tales.”
Chamomile.
Everyone also knows chamomile and will never confuse it with other flowers. Although no! They're confused! If you see one large flower on one stem - it’s not chamomile, it’s popovnik. And chamomile has a strongly branching stem. And on one chamomile plant there are always a lot of small flowers. Chamomile is called medicinal chamomile because it helps against many diseases.
White daisies placed
Through meadows among tall grasses,
It's like someone scattered papers
Drawing suns on them.
A ringing bell invites
Gather them into a field bouquet,
But daisies are cunning girls -
They just smile back. (G, Novitskaya).
What are the daisies compared to in this poem? What else are they like - what would you compare them to?
Good afternoon, chamomile,
White shirt,
yellow center,
Leaves are like a boat! (L. Kuklin).
What kind of shirt does Chamomile wear? What's the middle? How are its leaves similar to a boat? What else do they look like?
Do you think it is possible to grow chamomile at home? Listen to the poem.
Chamomile bloomed in the garden
Petals once and twice...
All carved lace.
Nastya came running to the kindergarten
And I saw a daisy
And she clapped her hands:
“Oh, how good he is!
This little white flower
We’ll transplant it into a pot.”
Mom said tenderly:
“And there is not enough space in the pot.
Let the chamomile grow in the garden -
Snow white shirt,
There is sun and water here,
Let it bloom in the garden! (L. Nekrasova)
Tansy.
Tansy very easy to find out. She has flowers like yellow buttons, collected in a cluster. What do its flowers look like? Listen to the poem. What did the poetess compare tansy flowers to? Isn't it true that she came up with an interesting idea?
Let tansy- modest,
Yes, it’s still medicinal
No wonder the flowers
look like pills
Also - for chickens,
bright yellow for now,
To the touch - like suede
puppy's nose (T. Golikova).
Look carefully at two pictures - tansy and rowan. How are tansy and rowan similar? What is the difference? Why do you think tansy is called “wild mountain ash”? (Tansy leaves are similar to rowan leaves. And the clusters yellow flowers look like bunches of rowan. So they called it “wild mountain ash”)
Tansy - special flower. It is medicinal, i.e. used for treatment. And this is a real compass. Yes, if you don’t have a compass, tansy will replace it! Tansy has a secret. The edges of tansy leaves are always directed from north to south!
Made from tansy green paint- threads and fabrics are dyed with it.
Tansy also repels insects. She has a very bad smell. The housewife will pick the tansy, bring it home, hang it on the wall, and all the insects will fly away. They don't like the smell of tansy.
Previously, cooks collected tansy leaves and put a little of its leaves in gingerbread and cookies for flavor. They say that the gingerbreads turned out delicious!
Forget-me-not.
They are visible and invisible,
You can't count them!
And who just invented them -
Cheerful, blue?Must have been torn off
A piece of the sky
We did a little magic
And they made a flower.
Forget-me-not It blooms for a very long time, almost until autumn. There are many of them on the banks of streams. Forget-me-not petals blue color. What else is blue in summer? Yes, the sky is blue, the stream and river are also blue. And in the middle of the forget-me-not there is a tiny yellow center, like a little sun. It’s as if she’s telling us: “Don’t forget.” There are many legends about this flower, but for the most part these are legends for adults, not for children.
If you see chicory flowers, it means it’s the tip of summer! Heat! Chicory is very strong, even drought is not scary for it! It has round blue flowers - baskets. And the stem is silvery and sticks out high up.
Why is chicory easily confused with cornflower? How are they similar? How can their flowers be distinguished?
Chicory- a medicinal plant. To treat various diseases, its branches are brewed, salads are made from the leaves, and a drink is made from the roots that replaces coffee. Show your child chicory in the store. And if you drink this drink and you have it at home, then let it taste.
Chicory wakes up very early- at dawn, when many other flowers are still sleeping. And he falls asleep in the afternoon. If the chicory flowers do not open in the morning, it means it will rain.
Riddle about the cornflower:
The head is blue and the stalk is long.
Well, who doesn’t know him! This is... (cornflower)
If you go to a field in summer, you will see a lot of cornflowers. Cornflowers have very beautiful shape petal - with jagged edges. And the head of the flower seems to lie on a green cone.
The blue sky fell on the meadow,
Everything around became blue and blue,
They bloomed in the meadow, by the blue river,
How blue skies, flowers - cornflowers. (N. Masley)
Golden Sea -
the spikelets will sing,
They walk among them
Grasses, weeds.
Royal, blue
among the ripe rye,
Brave and strong
We stood along the boundary.
It's like I've toppled over
Turquoise from the sky
How beautiful
blue eyes.
Blue berets -
the views are deep -
Cornflowers - flowers,
our cornflowers. (T. Tarasova)
What boy's name is the name of this flower similar to? Vasily - Vasya-Vasilek.
Buttercup.
Buttercup- yellow, beautiful. And when there are a lot of buttercups, you get a real golden carpet of them!
Buttercups-buttercups -
Yellow fireworks
Scattered across the fields,
Like parachutes.
Scattered throughout the gardens
And they turn yellow here and there (A. Alferova).
It seems that the buttercup is completely harmless. And in fact he's poisonous! Fierce! It’s probably not called that for nothing! Fierce buttercup. Who is called fierce? Fierce hurricane, fierce beast, fierce robber. That's the character of Buttercup!
Why is buttercup fierce? It has poisonous juice. And if this buttercup juice gets on a person’s skin, then this place will burn and sting. In the old days they even treated it with buttercup - they smeared it on the back, and this place began to sting terribly, like mustard plaster. So they called him fierce.
And scientists call the buttercup very funny - “ranunculus”, i.e. "frog". Why is it called that? Probably because buttercups grow in damp places, which frogs really love. Or maybe not. Do you know why?
Buttercups have another name - also very interesting. They are called "night blindness" Why? Because buttercups, like chickens, go to bed early!
Yellow buttercups are very beautiful!
Oh, what a terrible thistle! All covered in thorns, thorns, needles! It’s as if he’s saying: “Don’t come closer!”
But thistle - it is also a weather forecaster. How does he predict it if he has thorns? It’s very simple - if the spines are very hard and stick out different sides- it means the weather will be good. And if its needles stick up, it means it will rain. You can check J.
Burdock (burdock).
Burdock is a “sticky” plant. As soon as you walk past him, his baskets of fruit are already stuck to your clothes. They even say: “stick like a burdock” if a person gets very bored. Have baskets of burdocks pestered you?
But “stickiness” is very beneficial for burdock. Clinging to people's clothes, its baskets travel to different places right at us as passengers. We are his transport! That's why burdock grows everywhere - because people and animals carry it everywhere!
The burdock has hook-like thorns, very small, tiny ones, which give it the ability to cling. And now, based on the burdock model, people have come up with a Velcro fastener. Show this fastener to your child and look at the two parts of the Velcro. One of them has hooks like a burdock. And it clings to any fleecy surface.
Plantain.
Plantain- traveler's friend. How do you think he helps him? If you pick plantain leaves, wash them and put them on the wound, they will help the wound heal faster. This is the kind of doctor the plantain is.
Grows in the field along the paths
Wonderful doctor - plantain.
I'll tell you a secret now -
He's on duty here for a reason!
If you cut your finger, it will help.
It will also heal a scratch.
If you hurt your knee, no problem!
The green doctor is always here! (N. Tomilina)
Why did they call him that - plantain? Road worker. On the way to. Because it grows along the roads. And it's very easy to find!
Not only plantain helps travelers and heals their wounds. Travelers also help him. How? They carry plantain seeds. Of course, not in a bag like in a seed store. They carry seeds on the soles of their shoes. Plantain seeds are very small, easily stick and travel on shoes. And when they fall to the ground, a new plantain grows here.
And the plantain is not afraid of us when we walk on it - its leaves are elastic, pressed tightly to the ground, it is not afraid of trampling like others delicate flowers. But if its leaves were not pressed to the ground, but were raised above it, then it would be afraid of us! After all, leaves raised above the ground are very easy to break and trample.
Carnation.
Show your child a garden carnation at a flower kiosk or flower shop. And this is a carnation from the forest. How is it different? Yes, it is smaller in size! But also very beautiful! It was from this small forest carnation that its garden sisters, relatives, originated. People have invented and created many different beautiful varieties of garden carnations. But they all came from forest carnations.
Clover- smelly porridge. That's what they call him. For whom is this porridge - porridge? For cows and sheep who love to eat clover. Bumblebees also love clover.
In a field outside the village,
Among the fragrant porridge,
Kleve blossoms R —
Chamomile's best friend.
red lumps,
Like a cat's paws.
Flower balls,
The smell of the field is sweet.
Clover definitely
Knows young and old—
Hay for a cow.
Nectar for the bee.
So that the cow
Milk flows like a river,
She needs it for food
Field clover.
Let the bees circle
/
From childhood we remember the magic words:
"Fly, fly, petal,
Through west to east,
Through the north, through the south,
Come back after making a circle.
As soon as you touch the ground -
To be in my opinion led.
Commanded that this or that should happen."

A good fairy tale about love, about friendship, about duty. The merchant wandered around the world for a long time in search of a gift for his youngest daughter, Scarlet Flower. Who knew that this flower would bring so many trials for the heroes. The remarkable literary treatment of the fairy tale by S. Aksakov puts it on a par with Russian folk tales.
V. Propp, a famous researcher of fairy tales, in his book "Russian Fairy Tale" (Published by Leningrad State University, 1984 . P. 210-224) says: "... a group of fairy tales is about a girl who, by the will of fate, finds herself at the mercy of a monster in a luxurious garden or a magical palace. We recall here "Ruslan and Lyudmila" ... "The Scarlet Flower" and "The Tale of Finist the Clear Falcon" "These are fairy tales like "Cupid and Psyche". They are especially famous in the history of world culture and have become the subject of literary adaptations." ()
So many interesting materials about the fairy tale and the author collected in a virtual museum"ALOCVET"
Based on a fairy talecartoon (Soyuzmultfilm, 1952 . Director: Lev Atamanov),Feature Film (filmed in 1977 by director Irina Povolotskaya at the M. Gorky Film Studio), as well as severalradio shows
Fairy tale variations: Madame de Beaumont's version of "Beauty and the Beast". A rich merchant has three daughters and three sons. All the girls are pretty, but especially the youngest, whom everyone calls Belle - Beauty. The sisters are vain and jealous of Beauty. Unlike her sisters, she is modest and sweet, she does not strive to get married, but wants to always live next to her father.
Suddenly the family goes bankrupt. The beauty is forced to take care of the housework, while the sisters prefer to idle. A merchant undertakes a business trip in hopes of regaining his lost wealth. The older sisters demand that luxurious outfits be brought to them as gifts. Beauty, not wanting to offend her sisters with demonstrative silence, asks only for a rose, because roses do not grow where she lives. (Same The Scarlet Flower, but unlike Aksakov’s, which cannot be imagined, but can only be recognized, has a very real form).
The merchant's attempts to get rich are unsuccessful. In desperation, he heads home and on the way ends up in a dense forest, where he is overtaken by a strong storm with snow and rain. Suddenly he sees a brightly lit palace, but there is no one there, although there is dinner on the table, and in the bedroom everything is prepared for a comfortable overnight stay. In the morning he walks through the garden, where he sees a wonderful rose and remembers the request of his youngest daughter. As soon as he picks the flower, a terrible Beast appears and says that the merchant will die as punishment for stealing the rose. He begs to be spared, and the Beast agrees to let him go on the condition that one of his daughters take his place. If none of them agrees, the merchant will be obliged to return and accept death. The monster gives him a box full of gold and lets him go. With money from the box, the older sisters play rich weddings. The merchant gives the rose to his youngest daughter and confesses what happened. The brothers are eager to fight the Beast. Beauty begs her father to allow her to go to the palace where the Beast lives, and in the end he reluctantly accompanies her there.
In a dream, Beauty sees a fairy who thanks her for her dedication and promises a reward. The monster treats the girl well; all her wishes come true with the help of magic. Hands growing from the walls hold lamps, words on the walls spontaneously flash in gold. Here, for example, is what was written above the door:
Come in, beauty, don't be afraid.
You are the hostess here, not the guest.
Believe me, your wishes
The Beast will readily perform.
The Beast dines with Beauty every evening, and little by little the girl, bored in the palace from loneliness, begins to look forward to these meetings. At the end of dinner, the Beast invariably asks Beauty to marry him. She refuses, although she promises never to leave the palace. One day Beauty sees in a magic mirror that her father has fallen ill from melancholy and asks permission to visit him. The Beast agrees on the condition that she returns in seven days.
The next morning she is already home. The father joyfully meets his beloved daughter, and the sisters, to whom the marriage did not bring joy, again envy the Beauty and her luxurious life in the palace. They persuade Beauty to stay at home longer, which she does, but on the tenth day she dreams of a dying woman. broken hearted Monster. Wishing to return, she is immediately transported to the palace. Only now Beauty realizes how much she loves the Beast and agrees to be his wife. The Beauty's tears fall onto his terrible face, and suddenly the Beast is transformed into a handsome prince before his eyes. Beauty's father ends up with them in the palace, and the sisters turn into stone statues. The Prince and Beauty live in peace and happiness because their “contentment rests on virtue.”
Russian folklore also includes the fairy tale"The Enchanted Prince"
from Afanasyev's collection. As punishment for picking a wonderful flower in the garden, the Beast demands that his father give it to the one who first meets him upon returning home. Apparently, the youngest beloved daughter runs out first. The monster appears in the form of a winged serpent with three heads. Living nearby, Beauty gradually becomes attached to him. Girl visits native home. Greedy sisters are deceivingly delaying the return. The snake, without waiting for his Beauty, dies. But as soon as she kisses the snake, he turns into a handsome young man.
There are other Russian fairy tales in which a girl saves an enchanted young man and, on the contrary, a good fellow disenchantes his bride, for example, “Finist the Clear Falcon” and “The Frog Princess” with “Marya Morevna”.
In a Chinese fairy tale"Magic Serpent"
The monster is also a dragon-like creature. The father picks flowers as gifts for his daughters, not knowing that they belong to the Beast. The monster releases him only on the condition that one of his three daughters marries him. The youngest agrees to sacrifice herself, but everything turns out not so bad: the snake manages to win the girl’s love. Having asked to go home for just a few hours, Beauty, upon her return, finds the snake dying of thirst. She helps him get to the water, and - lo and behold! - the snake sheds its skin and turns into the son of a powerful king.
Turkish fairy tale "The Princess and the Boar" tells the story of a padishah who cannot find an apple for his youngest daughter. On the way home, the padishah's carriage gets stuck in impassable mud. The boar saves him. The terms of the deal are the same: the padishah gives his youngest daughter as his wife. The princess goes to the cave where the boar lives. While she sleeps, tired from the road, the gloomy dirty cave turns into an unprecedentedly luxurious palace, and the boar into a handsome man.
"Bouquet of Laurel Flowers" - a fairy tale from Ireland. Here, a father carelessly collects mountain laurel flowers as a gift to his youngest beloved daughter and ends up captive of an evil witch. The girl secretly runs away from home to save her father and take his place. The witch locks her in a room alone with a huge, ugly toad. With nowhere to go, the girl begins to talk to the toad, gradually gets used to it and gradually stops noticing its ugliness. One night she wakes up and sees a sleeping young man and a discarded toad skin on the floor. Naturally, Beauty's first impulse is to throw the skin into the fire. But, fortunately, everything works out without tragic consequences: no trials, no long-term wanderings, no iron shoes befall the Beauty. The young man, freed from the spell of the evil witch, warmly thanks his savior and leads her down the aisle.
In an Indonesian fairy tale"Lizard Husband" An old lizard comes to seven sisters and wooes one of them (no matter which one) for his son. Agrees younger sister named Capapito. She does not pay attention to the ridicule of her sisters and, together with her lizard husband, cultivates her field. For a lizard with short legs, peasant labor is a difficult task. One day, especially tired, Capapito’s husband decides to swim in the river. Ennobling work plus life-giving water work wonders: the lizard becomes a man. The sisters, overcome with envy, steal away the enviable husband, who was made from a former reptile, but he returns to his beloved wife and surrounds the field with a high fence so that no one else will interfere with their cloudless happiness.
The tale was first published in 1938 . ("Literary newspaper" May 10 1538 g .; "Ural Contemporary", book. 1). This tale is adjacent to two others: “The Mining Master,” which tells about the bride of the main character of the first tale, Katerina, and “ fragile twig" - about the son of Katerina and Danila the stone cutter. P. Bazhov conceived a fourth tale, completing the story of this family of stone cutters.
The writer said:
“I’m going to finish the tale about “The Stone Flower”. I want to show in it the successors of his hero, Danila, write about their wonderful skill, aspirations for the future. I think I’ll bring the action of the tale to the present day” (“Evening Moscow”, January 31 1948 . Conversation between P. Bazhov and a newspaper correspondent). This plan remained unfulfilled.
Tale " Stone Flower" wasfilmed in 1946 The script by P. Bazhov is based on the plots of two fairy tales - “The Stone Flower” and “The Mining Master”.
In 1951 . On the stage of the theater of K.S. Stanislavsky and Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, the opera “The Stone Flower” by the young composer K. Molchanov was staged.
In front of you amazing book- these are not just fairy tales, but tales from magic garden, in which flowers and trees speak with human voices. They talk about their destinies, about different times and countries. Many of them are once enchanted people.

The bean is sleeping, and the turnip is sleeping.
And, with my nose buried in the ground,
The pot-bellied zucchini is dozing.

"Once upon a time there lived a little flower. No one knew that it existed on earth. It grew alone in a wasteland; cows and goats did not go there, and children from the pioneer camp never played there. Grass did not grow in the wasteland, but lay alone old gray stones, and between themthere was dry, dead clay. Only the wind was blowing through the wasteland; like a grandfather sower, the wind carried seeds and sowed them everywhere - both in the black damp earth and on a bare stone wasteland. In the good black earth flowers and herbs were born from seeds, but in stone and clay the seeds died."
The writer teaches us to look at the world with love, to treat each other warmly and kindly, to give all the strength of mind and soul to everything around us.
